68 Shorty Stepside
After looking over these forums, I thought I would share our project.
It is a 68 short box Stepside project I got from a family member about four years ago. He had started it and after his wife, daughter, and son died in a 5 year span. He just didn't have the drive to work on it.
I also have a 70 short step. So he wanted me to have it and gave me a great deal on it, along with enough parts to finish it. My dad and I had been working on it as We could for 2 years and was real close, but I was in a head on crash and suffered fractured vertebrae and in an upper body cast so it was sidelined along with myself.
This year I gave myself a deadline to finish by Father's Day. I want to have it ready for my dad to use. We have been working on it together. He had a 72 long box that he still says was the best truck he ever owned.
So right now it is all block sanded and ready for paint. Nothing fancy a nice stock looking truck.
It has a 350/350 combo and 3.73 posi.
My painter should be able to spray it shortly and then final assembly.
Thanks
Ed
